Demi Moore looks amazing still in this batshit crazy body horror, about her desire to stay youthful after getting fired from her TV star job. Not for the squeamish!

Cade Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Not as funny or as clever as the previous two Deadpool outings. A plot we've seen many times before. Cameos made just for the sake of it and for memberberries. By far the weakest of the Deadpool films. Still decent enough entertainment to spend a couple of hours watching but I think they should knock it on the head now. 7/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a vacuous emptiness about all the Apple films and TV shows. That Argyle film about the writer (the gorgeous redhead, can't remember her name) was the same, as was Sugar with Colin Farrell and Severance. It's like they have great ideas on paper and then are happy to just make them very highly-polished, slick nothingness. Even the actors look like they can't be arsed or don't want to fully commit to the roles. The worst of all was the Apple TV show with Harrison Ford about the psychologists/pyschiatrists. Hollow junk.

The sound was incredible 9/10 Not as far fetched a storyline as first seemed. Actually very well shot and great for surround cinema sound buffs. However the story went from just barely possible and believable to downright ludicrous and spoiled a pretty well put together movie with some great scenes and set pieces in it. Still worth a watch but just 6/10 maybe a soft 7 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Only Lovers Left Alive (2013) Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton star as a pair of jaded Vampires in this atmospheric, brooding and melancholy Gothic romance set in a dilapidated Detroit.

Tazio Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 I’ve just watched Hundreds Of Beavers (steady at the back there with the giggling). Absolutely bonkers low budget slapstick comedy, like a cross between Buster Keaton and Wile E Coyote. Probably a bit too long as most things seem to be but several laugh out loud moments if you enjoy silly visual comedy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind films and stories going in a particular direction if they sell it well and justify the conclusion, but it felt like this set a different outcome up than it delivered. And not in a Third Man, Empire Strikes Back or even Infinity War subvert expectations manner either. Sadly a couple of simple tweaks to the script would have fixed that aspect.

Watched this at the weekend , thought it started very well MacAvoy genuinely made so many seems uncomfortable to watch, then it started to slip away once it all "kicked off" and got pretty stupid. The dad came accross as more annoying and almost comedy like in his cowardliness. 6.5/10 Does make me want a holiday in Italy though.

Vansen Posted Monday at 16:11 Share Posted Monday at 16:11 Sting Reasonably entertaining arachnid (from space!) monster film with some nice effects. A slick 90 minutes and was quite enjoyable. 7/10 However, this review from online a week ago disagreed. Spoilers and some deep issues included.... That little girl pissed me off the entire movie, Ethan was the only good character the mom was too quick to try to break up with him despite the fact that he worked his ass off to do what he needed for his kids and her, constantly broke his own back just to provide for them just to have one moment of weakness and have it used against him immediately, he actually had the balls to tell the girl about her dad being a bum and basically carried the whole movie, Charlotte is a crappily written character and adds nothing to the movie other than being an accomplice to every single person who died, only complaint I have about Ethan is that he didn't tell her the truth that she is souley responsible for every single person's death through out the movie, she's selfish, irresponsible and the little tantrums she throws just makes me dislike her even more, the spider was cool though it makes no freaking sense why it would go out and kill a bunch of people and animals and decide to go back into its jar and somehow screw the lid back on from the inside, there's only one word for that and it's called retarded. Charlette had me pissed off from the very first scene she was in to the very end of the movie she's a spoiled ****ing Bratt and if her and the mom were killed by the spider at the end and the dad and the baby were the ones who lived id give the movie a 5 star rating, she tried so freaking hard to be as creepy as she could at the same time being a stupid little bitch and was literally warned by the asain guy that the spider was venomous and still had the audacity to wanna keep it in the same house as a newborn baby. the mom can honestly go **** herself for making it seem like her dad was a brilliant amazing dude and letting her daughter put him on a pedestal while at the same time shitting on the guy who actually was there for them, she constantly pampered the little bitch and i nearly exited off of the pirating movie site I watched it on because I damn sure wasn't gonna spend my hard earned money to watch a movie about a 12 year old girl with daddy issues and a spider that killed everyone except for the little bitch that truly deserved it.

Horrific film and a literal assassination of the first which was brilliant. The box office and reaction are quite something - genuine comic book fans will be actually angry at this but seemed to me Phillips didn’t want to do it, got his pay cheque and bigger budget and then went baws deep on getting it up everyone that enjoyed the first . One of the greatest film disappointments I can ever remember and that’s saying something after Rise of Skywalker and Crystal Skull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
